My Final Friday

I just realized that this was the last Friday I'll be spending in the city for a while, which means that this upcoming weekend is the last one for me as well. I couldn't have asked for a more fulfilling and impromptu day. Being the mature, independent adult I am I woke up promptly at 1:20 pm to a phone call from Mr. Umsted telling me he was on his way over. We had decided we would see a movie today and since Aaron was up and ready to go, we were heading out of my apartment by 1:45, me slightly less showered than I had planned but excited for a movie day. After a twenty minute train ride, "Where's Waldo" reminiscing, and a bunch of generic musical theatre, talk Aaron and I found ourselves at the AMC Empire. The movie choice of the day was one "Paranormal Activity" just for a good scare. Who knew they sold child tickets to "R" rated movies? They're cheaper. Anyway, the movie was terrifying for about the last ten minutes. The rest of it was bad acting and nauseating camera angles with a few cheap jumps. Still fun though. Afterward we were headed back to the subway station and planning on going home until we passed the TKTS stand. It dawned on Aaron that he wanted to see a show and it dawned on me that this might be one of my last opportunities to do so before leaving. So we joined the throng in one of the LONGEST lines I've ever seen and purchased discounted tickets to "Next to Normal". We had dinner at a great little Thai Food place and the meal was delicious right up to the point that I threw it up. First time in a while though, so I was actually pretty proud of myself. I also discovered I might have a slight allergy to peanuts because, after three courses of my meal were covered in them, my throat started to swell and close a little. This warranted a quick trip to Walgreens; bendaryl for me, dramamine for Aaron (re: nauseating camera angles). This didn't put me in the best position for viewing "Next to Normal", what with a swollen throat and the drowsy effect of the diphenhydramine. Still, we were able to see all of the original broadway cast and the musical is truly spectacular. All of the performances were fantastic and it was the best way to end the evening. After that, we traversed home with our Playbills as good subway reading material, I devoured about twenty saltine crackers before having my nightly chat with Ryan (who will be singing in the Christmas show this year. Yea!) and typing this for any lovely people who may spend the time to read this far down. I love you mom and dad.

TV shows: I have completed all there is to watch of Veronica Mars...I have no idea what I'll do with my time now. I need a job.

Text Twist score:...don't ask.
